Chapter 10: The Ruling Elite: Before Marx, there was Roosevelt

 

Before Marx, there was Roosevelt

In 1841, Clinton Roosevelt, son of Elbert Cornelius Roosevelt (1767-1857)[371] of the New York banking family, wrote The Science of Government Founded on Natural Law in an effort to implement the

Illuminati plan for the U.S. The book advocated a network of highly structured, regulated communities. Roosevelt integrated a conspiratorial framework to communize the U.S. population and gradually eliminate the U.S. Constitution. Horace Greeley and Charles Dana, of the New York Tribune, and Roosevelt were directed, along with a select committee to raise funds for the enterprise which was also being financed by the Rothschilds.

Roosevelt (1804-1898), a distant cousin of Franklin and Theodore, may have inspired Franklin Roosevelt’s New Deal and the National Recovery Act. He apparently derived many of his ideas from the numerous works of Johann Adam Weishaupt, who revised Illuminism with the objective of world domination. In 1835, Roosevelt founded the Equal Rights Party in New York City, also known as the Loco-Foco Party (1835-1845). He ran for Congress as a member of the Equal Rights Party.[372] Party members, including poet Walter Whitman, came from the anti-Tammany Democrats and the Working Men’s Party.

The Loco-Focos, a radical political faction of the Democrat Party, possibly an Illuminati front organization, was largely active in the Northeast. The dogma of the Working Man’s Party (1828-1830) greatly influenced the radicals in the Loco-Focos. These parties merged into the Equal Rights Party in 1833 and eventually became the Socialist Party in 1901.[373]

Roosevelt claimed that there was no difference in the most predominant national

economic principles of Adam Smith who wrote The Wealth of Nations (1776) and the principles of Francis Wayland, a Baptist Minister and Brown University President (1827-1855) and Frances Wright, feminist, abolitionist, and social reformer and Robert Dale Owen (1801-1877). Adam Smith promoted free trade and equalization of nations. Wright and both Robert Owen and his son, Robert Dale Owen embraced those same general principles.[374] Wright’s father, James Wright, a wealthy linen manufacturer and political radical, knew Adam Smith, one of the key figures of the Scottish Enlightenment.

Roosevelt wrote, “In view of all we thus behold, does not the dreadful thought come home to our understandings, that there is no God of justice to order things aright on earth; if there be a God, he is a malicious and revengeful being, who created us for misery.” Further he wrote, “Thus, false ideas of God and man, and the interests of society, prevail, and misery is the consequence. Of course the wiser men become, the better can they read the reason of the laws of nature’s God, and the higher the ideas they then form of Deity.” He thought that the Constitution was ineffective for the majority and only served the needs of a few.[375] Nikita Sergeyevich Khrushchev maintained that the task of the Communist atheists was to “liberate” the religious “God-fearers” from their God. Contemporary Marxism is really Illuminism.[376]

Roosevelt, an Illuminist philosopher, in his book, defined the Illuminist strategy for supervising the world’s population through the management of enlightened people like him.[377] According to David Rivera and Des Griffin, members of the Illuminati established the Columbia Lodge of the Illuminati in New York City in 1785. Some of the members of this lodge included Governor DeWitt Clinton, Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Daily Tribune, Charles Dana, and Roosevelt.[378]

In 1843, journalist Heinrich Heine, in the Augsburg Gazette, wrote of the Illuminati, “Communism is the secret name of this tremendous adversary which the rule of the proletariat, with all that implies, opposes to the existing bourgeois regime ... Communism is nonetheless the dark hero, cast for an enormous if fleeting role in the modern tragedy, and awaiting its cue to enter the stage.”[379]

Karl Marx (Moses Mordecai Marx Levy, 1818-1883), the presumed father of Communism, was born into a religious Jewish family who converted to Christianity right before his birth. He apparently was once a devoted Christian but later referred to Christianity as the most immoral of religions.[380]

Marx wrote, “We must war against all prevailing ideas of religion, of the state, of country, of patriotism.

The idea of God is the keynote of a perverted civilization. It must be destroyed.” He became intent on warring against and destroying biblically based ideology regarding man’s inherent rights, the reasons for borders and sovereignty and the sanctity of the family. He even disdained his own family, which he utterly failed to provide for; they suffered because of his hateful doctrines. Two daughters and a son-in-law committed suicide. Three of his children perished from malnutrition. Marx, the spokesperson for the working person, fathered a child with his personal maid, a gift from his wealthy mother-in-law. Meanwhile he condemned those who were prosperous enough to have maids while he and his family subsisted from the generosity of others.[381]

Marx obtained a Doctorate in Philosophy in 1841 but could not get a teaching job because of his revolutionary activities. Marx, a Jew wrote A World without Jews in 1844 and in 1867, he wrote Das Kapital. He derived many of his ideas from Weishaupt, François-Noël Babeuf, Louis Blanc, Étienne Cabet, Robert Owen, William Ogilvie, Thomas Hodgkin, John Gray, Robert Thompson, William Carpenter, and Clinton Roosevelt. Marx befriended socialists Mikhail Bakunin, (founder of collectivist anarchism)[382] Moses Hess, and Pierre Proudhon.[383] Author Nesta Webster wrote, “So identical are many of these theories with those of Weishaupt that it is impossible not to believe that, like Bakunin, he had fallen under the spell of Illuminism and was consciously working for the sect that had as its object the ‘universal revolution which should deal the deathblow to society.’”[384]

By 1836, a few radical German workers, living in Paris, organized a secret society called the League of the Just, financed by the Illuminati. In early 1847, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels agreed to join the League only if the group reorganized as a more democratic society. Engels helped to devise the new regulations and a new name, the Communist League and the new motto, “Working Men of All Countries, Unite!” Article 1 reads, “The League aims at the emancipation of humanity by spreading the theory of the community of property and its speediest possible practical introduction.”

The League commissioned Marx and Engels, both 32nd degree Freemasons, to draft a manifesto. Engels wrote the first draft and Marx revised it. The Communist Manifesto, published in 1848, appeared just prior to numerous revolts throughout Europe. It functioned as a clarion call to arms and a demand for reform for Europe’s oppressed and generated notoriety for Marx throughout Europe. It was the most widely read and influential document of modern socialism. Publishers first printed it in the U.S. and then translated it for people in Poland, Russia, Switzerland, Denmark, Germany, and Italy. It defined his theories of class struggle and his efforts to unify all socialist factions to fight oppression and organize for revolutionary change.[385]

The Communist Manifesto, a virtual blueprint for elitist control, resembles Principes du Socialisme: Manifeste de la Deocratie au Dix Neuvieme Siecle, first published in 1843 by French utopian Socialist Victor Prosper Considérant, a disciple of Charles Fourier and later a member of the First International. He had to go into exile in Belgium in June 1849 when the opposition to Louis Napoléon failed in Paris. He published his book again in 1847 when Marx and Engels were living in Paris.[386] Engels, in his first draft of the Communist Manifesto, seems to have also borrowed heavily from Roosevelt’s book, The Science of Government Founded on Natural Law. These works, with obvious commonality, emanate from the same Illuminati source.

Marx edited the Neue Rheinische Zeitung from 1848 to 1849 in Cologne where the authorities charged him with “press offenses” that incited revolution. Readership of the paper increased and was viewed as dangerous by the authorities. His fiery articles caused the paper to lose money. Ultimately, when Marx urged people to resist paying taxes, public officials suppressed the newspaper and the police arrested him for sedition.[387] Officials arrested him after the four-day battle that ended the revolution in Paris in June 1848. During his trial, he delivered a passionate address to the jury on politics, history, and economics.

Members of the jury were extremely impressed; they found him innocent of all charges. The British government allowed Marx and his family to immigrate. They arrived in London on August 24, 1849. Engels arrived a month later. Marx continued his attempts to provoke another European revolution. He also continued his campaign against the French Republic.[388]

Charles A. Dana hired Karl Marx as a correspondent for Horace Greeley’s New York Tribune. He submitted over 500 articles from 1851 through 1861. In conjunction with these efforts, Greeley, because of his political aspirations and interests, assisted with the organization of the Republican Party in 1854.[389] Reportedly, Greeley and Roosevelt both contributed money to the Communist League in London in 1949 to help with the publication of the Communist Manifesto. The London Rothschilds reputedly also contributed several thousand pounds to fund Marx’s efforts.

Zbigniew Brzezinski, President Jimmy Carter’s Special Assistant for National Security, Director of the Research Institute on International Change, Professor of Public Law and Government, and a member of the Russian Institute, all headquartered at Columbia University, wrote Between Two Ages, in which he praised Marxism.[390] He wrote, “That is why Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man’s universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external, active man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief: it stresses man’s capacity to shape his material destiny— finite and defined as man’s only reality—and it postulates the absolute capacity of man to truly understand his reality as a point of departure for his active endeavors to shape it. To a greater extent than any previous mode of political thinking, Marxism puts a premium on the systematic and rigorous examination of material reality and on guides to action derived from that examination.”[391]

Marx’s Manifesto mandated a graduated income tax, the removal of all rights to inheritance, a central bank, centralized communication and transportation systems, the cultivation of wastelands, free public education, and abolition of child labor. Some of his directives appealed to the bourgeoisie who also wanted some of these reforms. Marx did not demand land nationalization, which would have alienated many wealthy landowners and farmers whose support he was seeking.[392]
